After breakfast, your driver-guide will pick you up from your hotel in Nairobi. You’ll drive through the dramatic Great Rift Valley, stopping at a viewpoint for photos before continuing to Narok town for lunch.

Arrive at Masai Mara National Reserve in the early afternoon and check into your lodge. After a brief rest, head out for your first afternoon game drive, exploring the vast plains that are home to elephants, giraffes, zebras, antelope, and big cats like lions and cheetahs. Return to the lodge for dinner and a peaceful overnight stay in the wild.

Day 2: Full-Day Game Drive in Masai Mara – Big Five Adventure

Today is all about wildlife viewing! After an early breakfast, set off for a full-day game drive across the Masai Mara’s endless savannahs. With luck, you’ll encounter all of the Big Five—lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhino—as well as hyenas, jackals, warthogs, and massive herds of wildebeest and zebras.

If you’re visiting during the migration season, you may witness the incredible wildebeest river crossings, where thousands of animals brave crocodile-infested waters. Enjoy a picnic lunch at a scenic spot—often near a hippo pool—before continuing your afternoon drive.
